Thoughts a runnin....

So this weekend was very good for me in my walk.  It has been a challenging week in the sense of being thrown into the areas of ministry and life that are babied to us.  We don't get chances to look into the areas that make us realize we are just as broken as the next guy.  I was reading my Bible and came across a story where people stood up for the Lord and their faith and were persecuted.  I don't know how easy it would be for me to be persecuted in the form of embarrassment....makes me think.  This first video is a skit about how Jesus fought/fights for us, yet I feel like I wouldn't be strong enough to fight for him.  I am just being hard on myself right now which isn't good, but with all I have been seeing and reading, I dont feel like putting myself on a pedistool right now.  



At one of the meetings I was in, Kurt, a guy I work with, told me about this song called How He Loves Us.  The lyrics were amazing.....the next day i went to an intern worship and we sang that song.  That was the first time I saw the words and it tore me up.  Laater that night we all went to the dam and were hangin out and I heard a bit more about the reason for the song so i looked it up and was blown away.  Such faith.  

Church the next day broke me and i couldn't even stand.  I sat in my chair sobbing for the past week made me realize that I am NOT good enough.  We sang a song with the lyrics, "He gives and takes away....my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name".  If He took it all from me....idk what i would do.  But I am maturing to the point of being able to give Him EVERYTHING.  When i thought i was about to stop crying like a school girl, Revelation Song started, and I found myself standing with hands lifted high.  Such a good sunday.  Ill post that video later.  you can youtube it. (Revelation Song).   Thanks for listening.

You know humility is a great thing. I don't think it's about putting yourslef down but merely realizing that we are all human and need heavenly fathers help and guidence. And also to make of strive to become better. I think when we realize how much we take advantage of things our how small our faith really is at times it puts things into perspective and makes us work harder to become better to become what heavenly father sees in us. Plus when we are humble we are more willing to learn and rely on the lord when we realize how weak and unperfect we are. Anyways thats my rant..... I LOVE YOU TYLER!
